Updates to the Prodlib library: WILJA®
available, updated SLADEX® and ARBOX®
The latest updates to the ProdLib library
have brought the following changes: the
WILJA® Lifting Insert has replaced the PNLF
Sandwich Wall Insert, the ARBOX® portfolio
has been extended, and the SLADEX®
Balcony Slab Connector can now be confi gured
with the PSB® Punching Reinforcement
or shear stirrups.
With the latest Peikko library for ProdLib,
we have added the SLADEX® tube for
supported balcony slabs where PSB® is
not applicable. For this application, the
SLADEX® Balcony Slab Connectors are
modeled in combination with shear stirrups,
for which the user can specify the height
and edge distances. In Revit, the height
off set is now provided for the so-called
regular combinations of SLADEX® and PSB®,
where the tube of the SLADEX® Balcony
Slab Connector is placed in the middle of
the balcony slab, but the PSB® may require
some height off set.
The ARBOX® portfolio has been
expanded in ProdLib as well, and now
includes ARBOX®, ARBOX® Plus, and
ARBOX® Strong.
In addition to these updates, this version
has now added the WILJA® Lifting Insert,
which replaces the PNLF Sandwich Wall
Insert. The shape and dimensions of the
insert will be determined by the thickness
of the chosen insulation. In addition, the
diagonal pull angle selection will ensure that
additional diagonal reinforcement is added
to the wall as needed.
In Revit, the WILJA® Lifting Inserts can be
inserted either one by one, or in pairs, with
a user-defi ned distance between the inserts.
Keep in mind that the designer should verify
the minimum spacing requirements between
the inserts, the geometry of the wall, and
the surface reinforcement required, in
accordance with the WILJA® Technical
Manual. WILJA® Lifting Inserts can also be
modeled 'close to the opening' or 'over the
opening', which will result in bent WILJA®
confi gurations with additional diagonal
reinforcement. Visit prodlib.com for more
information.
